Abstract

The invention relates to a system for the wireless two-way transmission of data signals in serial format between a "master" electronic device (3) and a "slave" power meter (2) comprising a microcontroller (20) with a serial input port (Rx). According to the invention, the data signals in serial format are exchanged over a short distance via two-way electromagnetic coupling means (4) outputting a pulse at every rising or falling edge of said data signals in serial format. To transmit data signals from the "master" device (3) to the "slave" meter (2), the pulses output by the electromagnetic coupling means (4) are output to said serial input port (Rx). The microcontroller (20) is programmed such that every pulse received at the input port (Rx) generates a break, in order to synchronise the first received pulse and to generate, at the serial data transmission speed, a series of bits, the value of every bit generated being either equal to that of the preceding bit if no breaks were received in the meantime, or equal to the reciprocal of the value of the bit if a break was received in the meantime.

Description

The double-direction radio transmission of the serial data signal between electronic equipment and the energy meter
Technical field
The present invention relates to the very near double-direction radio transmission of distance of two serial form data-signals between the adjacent electronic equipment.
Background technology
Hereinafter will specifically describe this serial signal in the circuit of energy meter and the transmission between the electronic equipment of outside " master ", said energy meter for example be water meter, gas meter or ammeter and be called hereinafter " from " equipment.
The circuit of energy meter generally includes microcontroller, and this microcontroller has the serial link on its dual serial port, is used to receive the first port R of serial signal xWith the port T that is used to send serial signal xBy means of this serial link, this microcontroller can exchange serial data with other electronic equipments.
This serial data exchange possibly be required in the different phase of energy meter length of life, and particularly:
-during manufacture various stage is before the various electronic components that comprise controller are encapsulated in the seal casinghousing of this energy meter;
-when making end, after the various electronic components that comprise microcontroller have been encapsulated in the seal casinghousing of this energy meter;
-when thereby scene this energy meter of installation makes that its parameter can be set up; With
-any time during the normal running after this energy meter has been mounted alternatively is for example in order to send data to long-range fetch equipment from this energy meter.
As long as the housing of this energy meter does not also have sealing electronic parts, each of the circuit through testboard being electrically connected to this energy meter puts that to exchange serial signal just quite easy.Therefore, specific connector needn't be provided.
On the contrary; As long as seal casinghousing has sealed electronic component; Just can not under the situation of not emitting the risk of damaging this energy meter, open housing, particularly because on some energy meter model, this housing is filled up by resin fully for this; This resin is used to protect electronic equipment not receive the harsh and unforgiving environments condition effect, and for example energy meter is soaked.In this case, equally can't be outside at this energy meter with the serial link of microcontroller between realization is any electrically contacts.
Yet, needn't be in order to make " master " external equipment to communicate by letter by means of connector with the serial link of microcontroller (" from " equipment), the known transmitted in both directions of utilizing serial data via optical link.Fig. 1 schematically shows the principle of this communication: each " master " and " from " equipment all has a pair of optical element, said optical element comprises optical transmitting set (E 1Be used for " master " equipment, E 2Be used for " from " equipment) and optical receiver (R 1Be used for " master " equipment, R 2Be used for " from " equipment), this optical transmitting set is light-emitting diode (LED) normally, and this optical receiver is photodiode or phototransistor normally." master " external equipment is via optical transmitting set E 1Transmission has the first serial signal S of two level of representative " 0 " or " 1 " Bit String 1, this signal is by the receiver R of the serial port (not shown) that is connected to microcontroller 2Receive.Equally, " from " equipment is through via its reflector E 2At its serial transmit port T XSecond pair of level serial signal of last transmission S 2Respond this " master " equipment, this pair level has been represented " 0 " or " 1 " Bit String equally, and this signal is by the receiver R of " master " equipment 1Receive.
The advantage of this smooth exchanges data is serial data signal S 1And S 2Under the situation that need not to change, be sent out, and need do not carry out any conversion in reception place.When " from " the serial port R of the microcontroller of equipment xReceive serial data signal S 1The time; Microcontroller is designed such that first reception of beginning bit produce is interrupted; Make thus this microcontroller can be synchronously it is own and initiate routine then, this routine enables to read the state in the middle of each bit after the beginning bit and thereby recover the data to its transmission with the known speed that receives Bit String.Yet major defect is this fact: wall 1 must be provided on the energy meter housing, this wall at least as far as employed optical wavelength for transparent.Because the whole housing of energy meter can not be transparent, therefore transparent wall need be provided partly, this has caused the risk that impairs housing seal property thus.In addition, energy meter must comprise optical transmitting set and optical receiver, and this has increased manufacturing cost thus.When only between the manufacturing of energy meter and installation period, using the transmission of this serial signal, especially do not expect to produce this extra cost.
File DE 10 2,005 051 117 A1 also disclose the communication interface between a kind of energy meter and the evaluation module, and wherein handshaking is to realize through the capacitive coupling between the capacitive electrode on energy meter and the module wall separately.The tangible advantage of this interface is that the signal transmission can realize through plastic casing and resin.Yet capacitive coupling only allows to transmit the signal that has changed and does not transmit fixed level.This does not counteract in the background of file DE 10 2,005 051 117 A1, and the IrDA agreement is used in the transmission of the signal that this document regulation is generated, and promptly signal takes to have the form of the pulse train of very short duration.
Yet this interface is inappropriate for the transmission serial signal because reception place must be from the variable signal that receives through capacitive coupling the reconstruct serial signal.
At last, the wireless data exchange solution of utilizing inductance coupling high between energy meter and the measuring equipment is known.As above-mentioned capacitive coupling, the exchanges data that realizes through inductance coupling high is merely able to transmit the signal that has changed.If the signal of exchange is a serial form, RS232 reference format for example then must be provided for the device of the fixed level of reconstruction signal from variable signal in reception place.
For example, the system that is used for the transmitted in both directions serial signal according to the leading part of claim 1 has been described in file EP 0 977 406.
Summary of the invention
The objective of the invention is to propose the solution that a kind of electromagnetic coupled that is used between energy meter and " master " electronic equipment, utilizing electric capacity or inductive type exchanges serial data; This solution can not increase the energy meter cost, promptly need not come the reconstruct serial signal by means of the add ons of costliness.
According to the present invention, this purpose reaches like the double-direction radio transmission system that is used for the serial form data-signal that limits in the claim 1 through a kind of.
Said " master " electronic equipment preferably includes the interface that inserts between serial form data-signal transmission/receiving system and the said electromagnetic coupling device.For from said " master " electronic equipment to " from " energy meter sends data-signal; Said interface comprises the high-voltage pulse maker, and this maker receives the serial form data-signal that sent by said transmission/receiving system and sends each rising or the high-voltage pulse on the trailing edge in the serial form data-signal that is received at output.
For from said " from " energy meter sends data-signal to said " master " electronic equipment; Serial form data-signal to be sent is delivered to said electromagnetic coupling device by the output port of microcontroller; And said interface preferably includes the serial signal maker, and the input of this maker is connected to the output of said coupling device and sends the serial form data-signal at its output to said transmission/receiving system.

Embodiment
Fig. 2 with the form of simplified block diagram show constitute by the energy meter that comprises microcontroller 20 " from " needed parts of bidirectional linked list data communication between " master " electronic equipment 3 of equipment 2 and for example testing equipment.Recall, " master " equipment 3 and " from " signal of exchange between the equipment 2 is the signal of serial type, for example with the asynchronous signal of RS232 reference format.This serial signal has two fixed levels (for battery powered apparatus normally 0/5 volt or 0/3 volt) and they have represented " 0 " or " 1 " Bit String.
Bidirectional data transfers is that the electromagnetic coupled through electric capacity or inductive type realizes.With dashed lines frame 4 schematically shows this electromagnetic coupled among Fig. 2.
The upper reaches of the microcontroller 20 in receive direction also provide two interfaces that are used to carry out the function that will be described hereinafter, first interface 31 that promptly is used for " master " equipment be used for " from " second interface 21 of energy meter.
Under the situation of inductive type electromagnetic coupled, two coil L 1And L 2Be placed in the both sides of the plastic wall 1 of energy meter housing.These two coils constitute transformer.Fig. 3 has provided equivalent circuit diagram.If via coil L 1Send electric current front end I e, coil L then 2Received current pulse I r(has low load impedance R L) or potential pulse V r(has high capacity impedance R L).Transmission is two-way and impulse level is asymmetric, enables to reduce the cost of energy meter thus.Thereby should be pointed out that the quite little function of amplifying the transmission signal that preferably provides of coupling factor in this transmission.
Under the situation of capacitor type electromagnetic coupled, four conductive plate P 1To P 4Be placed in the both sides of the plastic wall 1 of energy meter housing, so that they constitute transmission electric capacity in couples.Fig. 4 has provided equivalent circuit diagram.If at two plate P 1And P 2Between send voltage front end V e, then will be at plate P 3And P 4Between receive potential pulse V r, the pulse duration is depended on time constant R L* C L, R wherein LBe load impedance and C LIt is load parasitic capacitance.Transmission is two-way equally and impulse level is asymmetric, has reduced the cost of energy meter thus.Can find out that from the circuit diagram of Fig. 4 conductive plate cooperates with load parasitic capacitance constituting voltage divider so that the amplitude that receives signal with following proportionate relationship less than sending signal amplitude:
Vr/Ve=C T/C L
The value grade of considering electric capacity is (for C TBe that 0.3 picofarad (PF) arrives 1PF, and for C LBe that 10PF is to 20PF), receive the amplitude of signal thereby can be send signal amplitude 1/20th to 1/40th.Therefore, equally signal amplifying function need be provided.
Therefore, send and receive no matter the type of selected electromagnetic transmission how, has only the rising and falling edges of serial signal to be sent to be actually with the form of pulse, and must be from received pulse the reconstruct serial signal.In addition, under the situation of these two kinds of transmission, must provide level to amplify to sending signal.
In order to simplify second interface 21 as far as possible, specified signal enlarging function of the present invention is not to be carried out by the interface 21 of energy meter, but is carried out by the interface 31 of " master " equipment.

-amplifying device 311, its receive the pulse of sending by electromagnetic coupling device 4 and cause thus by " from " energy meter sends serial data signal, thereby and the corresponding serial data signal of reconstruct it is delivered to serial form transmission/receiving system 30.
Fig. 5 and 6 shows the preferred embodiment of the high-voltage pulse maker 310 under the situation of sending through inductance coupling high and sending through capacitive coupling respectively.It is to utilize coil L that pulse generates 1The known principle of charging is carried out, up to the electric current that obtains to confirm, and coil discharge then, charging and discharge cycle are by transistor controls.Should be pointed out that under the situation of sending this directly is exactly the coil L that uses in the maker 310 through inductance coupling high 1
Interface arrangement 311 can embody from the conventional operation amplifier circuit that amplifies pulse reconstruct serial signal through being used for.Applied logic is corresponding to the logic of all changing the D type bistable of state when the received pulse.
As indicated above, for go to from " master " equipment " from " serial signal of the equipment function of carrying out reconstruct should not increase the cost of energy meter.For this reason, the present invention's regulation is come these signals of reconstruct by means of the specific software routine in the microcontroller 20, and this microcontroller is at serial port R XThe last pulse that receives by the electromagnetic coupling device transmission.
Specific software routines is to carry out the following step:
-microcontroller 20 produces interruption on each received pulse, this received pulse is corresponding to each rising or trailing edge in the serial data signal that is sent;
-microcontroller 20 is own synchronous with first received pulse corresponding to the rising edge of the beginning bit of transmission serial data signal with it, and with the Serial Data Transfer Mode speed operation with the generation Bit String, the value of each bit that generates:
, ο equals the value of last bit if not receiving any interruption at this moment; And
If ο receives interruption at this moment then equals the value opposite with the value of last bit.
